Ages ago I posted about my ggg grandmother Marjory Cummin(g) b. 1819 who married Robert Munro. They lived at Sarclet.
I've just discovered Marjory had a sister, Margaret Cumming, b. 1814, who married James Forbes, shoemaker, in 1832.
In 1841 they were living at Sarclet, but James died sometime between 1841 and 1851.
After his death Margaret appeared in the 1851 census as 'shoemaker employing 4 men', living with her four daughters, Jean, Margaret, Marjory and Janet Forbes. A son, Donald, probably died in childhood.
In 1852 Margaret married David Gunn, 'shoemaker and grocer' and had two children with him -Ann(ie) Andrew Miller Gunn and Robert James Gunn.
One of her daughters, Margaret Forbes, was an elementary school teacher in 1861.
In 1851 and 1861 the Forbes/Gunn family was living in between two neighbouring families of Mores in Sarclet village.
Marjory and David later moved to Pultneytown - Dempster Street - where they died in 1877/78.
If anyone has any connection to the Forbes/Gunn families or has more information about them, I'd really like to hear about it. :)
